NIIr.Ionary MeetIng Tho sec.

Missionary Meeting The sec
ond annual meeting OF the Woman's
Home aud Foreign Missionary Society
In connection with the Lutheran church
was held In the audience room Of the
church on Saturday at 7.3O p. M, and
proved an interesting occasion. A care
fully prepared programme, consisting
of appropriate devotional services, the
reading of specially prepared papers
and selection, condensed report OF
the years work and special music by the
choir, was gone through with much to
the delight of all present. The first pre-
pared paper was on "Life's Mission.
and was presented by Miss Ida Folk.
The second paper on Missions was
prepared by Mrs. H. L. Snyder and was
read by Miss Bette Hill. The selection
read by Mrs. Il. L. Richard strikingly
set forth the trivial character OF excuses
for neglect of duty. The annual report
was offered by Mrs. D. NJ. MOser. and
showed that the Society was doing no
BILE work. The active membership is
90; honorary members 3, and one life
member. The cash contributions and
offerings amounted to $79.43. Besides
this a handsomely embroidered silk
quilt was sent to the ladies In cOnpec-
ton with the Augusta Mission to aid
them in the erection Of new church.
The old officers were unanimously re-
elected for the ensuing year: President,
Mrs. John Keplinger; Vice President,
Mrs. j. NJ. Stonebraker; Recording
Secretary, Miss Bette Byers; Core
spending Secretary, Mrs. c. D. Keep
linger; Treasurer, Mrs. D. NJ. Moser.
The Society have every reason to be en-
couraged, and they enter upon the third
year of their existence under favorable
circumstances.

The Record Union broadly lays the
onus of the passage Of the Interstate
Commerce act to the Democratic
party. This is simply not true. Both
parties are responsible for the pas
sage of the law, for either party could
have prevented its passage. The
Republican party we're in the major
ity in the Senate when the bill was
passed, and could have killed it il
they were SO inclined. They did moi
do it. Hence that party cannot now

disastrously, pass. the blame OF its
passage over to the Democrats. The

THERE is no doubt that the prac'

is the natural corrollary to the cher

in favor OF the high protective tariff
in foreign imports. We shall see
that this new departure protects the

on Col. Boyce, to the fact that he

This is a very remarkable total of con-
tribulions for a project that has only
been before the public for week. 1t
shows not only the splendid generosity
Of our people, but the popularity of .
movement which seems to have COM
mended itself to every philanthropic
breast. Mrs. II. A. Watson, to whose
womanly sympathies this project is due,
thinks that she will be prepared to call
the friends who have taken an interest
in it together about the close of the
week, to discuss and determine upon
the organization of the movement into q
practical working association. She says
that a number of prominent citizens
who wish to help the movement along
will by that time be ready to hand in
their contributions, and to give 1t the
benefit of their valuable counsel.
